Appiano.. mea caoba 4.1907. 'serial N9. 395.838.

vof the city, county, and State of New York,

have invented a new and useful Improvement in Display-Boxes, of which the following is a specificati-on.

- The ob'ect of my 1nvention is to provide a box of this class which is adapted to store or display cravats or similar articles, and to enable any articles in the box to be removed without disturbing the others while all are be-` ing displayed. Also, to provide a suitable box for storingthe cravats when not being displayed. This object isf accomplished by` means of my invention, certain embodiments of which are hereinafter described.

For a more particular description of my irlvention, reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, in which,

Figura 1 is a side elevation of a box'pro-l vided with my improvement, it bein broken away to save room .in illustration. f ig. 2 is a plan view of the same with a portion of the cover broken away to show the interior. Fig.

y 4 ple with an 'enlarge g over 'against the walls4 of the box'.v [The napl 3 is a perspective view of one end of my improved box. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of one end of my improved box when in condition to display thc goods inside. Fig. 5 is an end view taken on the line 66 of Fig. 4. Fig. 7 is a longitudinal section of the structure shown in Fig. l. Fig. 8 is'a perspective view of a portion of a modified` form of box,'in all other respects the same as shown in'Figs. 1 to 7. Fig. 9 is a similar view with the cover removed. Figs. 10 and 11 are similar to Figs. 8 and 9,'. respectively, except that the box is chan ed to show its condition when displayinfr t e goods. Fig. 12 is a sectional view ta en on the Vline 12-12 of'Figl 11, looking 4in .the direction f the arrows.

Throughout the various views of the drawings, similar reference characters designate similar parts.

My improved box 1, as shown in Fi s. 1 to 7 inclusive, is provided with the usua cover 2. At one end is pivoted a Hap 3 provided with two extending ears 4 .through which is passed any suitable (pivot .5 (preferably a stahead) with ends bent also has a tongue projection 3.

The corners ofthe upright walls of the box I A Fig. 6 is a sectional are cut .away at 7 to allow the flap toswing open or shut.

.The inner ends 6 of the pivots 5 Vmay be covered with a lining 6a, or left uncovered, as desired; and the ears 4 may be located inside the box if desired.`

v In the structure shown in Figs. 8 to12 inclusive the flap3 has no tongue, and its ears are provided with the hinging staple 5 which passes through a slot 8 cut in the side Walls of the box. T e slot has a curved rising-portion 9, and a horizontal portion 10.

When the flap is lowered by turning it on i its pivot 5, the tongue-3EL will extend up into the cover 2 as shown in Fig. 2, thereby lock'- ing the flap in a closed position. When the ilap is raised, as in-Figs. 3, 4, 5, and 6, it and the tongue 3 rests on the edges ofthe side walls of the box, and the cover 2 by extending. over it locks it in that position.

-The flap 3 of the modification shown in Figs. 8 to 12, is raised and lowered b sliding the pivots 5 first upwardly then aong the portions 9 and 10 vof the slot Swhich will cause i it to assume the positions shown in said figures.

manner shown in the drawing.

' From the foregoing, theuse of my improved The cover 2 will hold the flap locked in either the open. or closed vposition in th the box in the customary manner and when the box is used for storagel purposes the ties are completely concealed.

When-the neckties 'are to be displayed for sale, the flap 3 is thrown up under the cover, as indicated in Figs. 4, 5 and 6, and then the ends of the neckties will be displayed so that a customer can select'any without removing them from the box. The -ties may be withdrawn from the box, either one or more, without doubling, and they will be held smooth and in proper relation while one is being with:

drawn.

Furthermore, the ties may be displayed or withdrawn without taking the box off the shelf `or without removing the cover` 2. A

Having described my invention, what 'I claim is 1. In an article of the class described, the the combination of a box having an open end,

a iiap adapted to open and close the end comprising ears pivoted to the side vWalis and a cross-piece connecting the ears, and a remov- Yable cover for the box, the ccver being adapted to it over the cross-piece and lock the flap ,in its open or closed position.

2. In an article of the class described, the

. combination of a boX body having an o en end, and a ap adapted to, open and c ose 10 said end, comprising .ears pivoted to thev side `and the extension when the flap isflowered.

3. In an article of the class described, the

combination of a box having side walls and'- an op,en'"end, a iiap for closing said open en'd comprising a cross piece and pendent'ears,

by the iiap is movably supported, the crosspiece being adapted to be moved into a perpendicular' or vhorizontal position to open or close boX, and a cover adapted to engage both the side Walls of the box vand the crosspiece of the flap to lock the Hap in its open or closed posit-ion. v
